Equivalent to `stty size` on Windows.

Question

I'm using some Ruby code that shells out to stty size to get the size of the terminal, but I'm running on Windows. What is the Windows equivalent?

Answer 1

The MODE command will report the size of the window buffer but not the actual window size.

You may have to write a utility to get the window size using GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.
